Log Cabin explorations

Fibre art / By

I am continuing my exploration of the log cabin. The selection below is destined for a minimal modern quilt using the traditional pattern in a new way. So far, I’ve sketched out the design and chosen the colour palette.

I am continuing the series I started with In Order and am stretching it in new ways.

Do I add hand stitching? Machine stitching? Embroidery?

Can I use more colours, patterns? What is the minimum?

Looking forward to seeing how this new idea evolves. What traditional blocks have you played with?
